ShuntAssistant

The SHUNTASSISTANT ® is a gravitational valve made of titanium. It is implanted in combination with an adjustable or non-adjustable differential pressure valve.

Its purpose is to prevent overdrainage in shunted hydrocephalus patients, independent of the patient’s body position. As an auxiliary valve, it can be implanted either secondarily to support drainage in problem patients, or initially in combination with non-adjustable or adjustable differential pressure valves.
